‘Gotham’ Season 3 Casts ‘Walking Dead’ Baddie as The Mad Hatter

Alice in Wonderland references throughout Gotham Season 2 tipped off that the Mad Hatter might be on his way, and it seems our star took a slight detour through The Walking Dead. Fresh out of the Wolves, Benedict Samuel joins Gotham Season 3 as its iteration of Jervis Tetch, the villain underneath the Mad Hatter’s signature look.

Per TVLine, Samuel’s version of the maddened Batman villain will join Season 3 as “a talented hypnotist teetering on the edge of madness. He arrives in Gotham with an unwavering desire to find his sister, Alice, a young woman who went missing in the city years ago. It is anyone’s guess just how far down the rabbit hole he’s willing to go in order to find her.”
